Is there a shield law for team mascots in Ohio?

The web site Courthouse News Service (hat tip from Ben Maller.com) reports that the Cavs and Quicken Loans Arena have been sued by a disgruntled fan who wants to find out the identity of the team’s mascot, Moondog.

The plantiff alleges that Moondog struck his arm to make him drop a sign, rupturing a tendon for the fan in the process.

The suit is pending in Cuyahoga County Court, the web site reports.

First, “The Answer” with LeBron James. Next, his team mascot is being sued. It’s enough to make Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert wonder if his team is cursed.

I’m wondering if the Spurs’ Coyote, the Phoenix Suns’ Gorilla, Orlando’s Stuff the Magic Dragon, Oklahoma City’s Rumble the Bison and Minnesota’s Crunch the Wolf are planning any signs of solidarity in support of their fellow brother in fur.
